MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 1. Verify that the Connectivity Kit has been installed. The Windows
    Control Panel should contain an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
    icon.

 2. Rename the FPSQL.FLL file located in the main FoxPro directory
    (usually FPW26) to TEST.FLL.

 3. Start FoxPro.

 4. In the Command window, type "SET RESOURCE OFF" (without the
    quotation marks).

 5. USE the resource file (usually FOXUSER.DBF in the main FoxPro
    directory).

 6. Using BROWSE, locate and delete the record containing "CK Library"
    (without the quotation marks) in the NAME field.

    NOTE: This record will not exist if the Client-Server Query Wizard
    hasn't been run previously with this resource file.

 7. PACK the resource file.

 8. Type the following in the Command window:

       CLOSE DATA
       SET RESOURCE ON

 9. From the Run menu, choose Wizard, and then choose All.

11. When prompted for the location of FPSQL.FLL, select another file,

    such as DRIVER2.FLL. Choose Open.

    choose Next.

    A dialog box containing the error message displays.

NOTE: Remember to rename the TEST.FLL file located in the main FoxPro directory (usually FPW26) back to FPSQL.FLL.
